MONTE CARLO My 1st post

[ShonCobain]

My name is Shon, I own a 1984 Monte Carlo 305/200R4 daily. Debating on a 383 and upgraded 200R4 for the summer. Not the cleanest but I’ve seen worse. Had a leak when I picked it up, shifter seal was bad. Runs good, shifts smooth more to come. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the GBodyForum!
Your Monte looks to be in good shape. It's nice to see you getting on the little issues right away. That's what makes an "OK" car a nice car. There's plenty of cheap and easy things you can do to bring your ride to the next level. The 383 is always a good strong power plant if your looking to keep things "old school" looking. Just remember, you'll want to be sure your 200/4R will support the torque the 383 puts out. (ask me how I know) I went with a TH400 with mine as I still have freeway gears, but will switch to a 4 speed automatic once the rear end is replace with a bit more of a street gear.
You have joined a very good forum with a lot of knowledgeable guys (and gals) here to help with all of your questions. From mild to wild, we have it all.
Good luck with your build.
